Reps. Strong, Crank Form House Golden Dome Caucus

WASHINGTON — Today, Representative Dale Strong (AL-05) and Representative Jeff Crank (CO-05) announced the formation of the House Golden Dome Caucus.  

The caucus will serve as a bipartisan member organization dedicated to ensuring the robust defense of the United States homeland through land and space-based capabilities. The caucus will be a pivotal platform for Members of Congress to advocate for the necessary policies, funding, and next-generation defense capabilities to protect the nation from rapidly evolving threats.  

 “The current threat landscape demands immediate and decisive action. President Trump has artfully highlighted the nation’s critical need for a next-generation missile defense, and we can’t risk this vision not becoming a reality. The formation of the House Golden Dome Caucus signals a new era of Congressional commitment to this national security initiative,” said Rep. Dale Strong. 

“North Alabama has played a key role in every former and current U.S. missile defense program and will undoubtedly be pivotal to the success of Golden Dome,” continued Strong. 

"Golden Dome will only be successful if we meet President Trump's timeline," said Rep. Jeff Crank. "This means that is imperative that we, Members and stakeholders, are well informed and working together to revolutionize missile defense of our great nation.” 

BACKGROUND: 

The establishment of the caucus follows President Trump’s Executive Order, issued on January 27, 2025, directing the implementation of a “next-generation missile defense shield for the United States against ballistic, hypersonic, advanced cruise missiles, and other next-generation aerial attacks.” 

The House Caucus will work closely with the Senate Golden Dome Caucus, chaired by Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT).
